Two individuals standing behind a kitchen island with a gas stove, one woman and one man, with the woman crossing her arms and the man with his arms crossed. A paper bag with a red logo and a signature is on the counter. The woman is wearing a dark chef's jacket with a patch that says 'Knicks' and the name 'April Comacho.' The man is wearing a black shirt. The background has kitchen cabinets, a double oven, a refrigerator, and a glass door, with lighting equipment visible.

About April

A graduate of the Culinary Institute of America, April “Apes” Camacho Keosky has seen it all: from the cutthroat kitchens of fine dining establishments to feeding fans and talent from the most prestigious venues in the world.

A courageous leader and a creative powerhouse that brings the grit, professionalism, and tenacity required to be a truly extraordinary chef.

In kitchens historically dominated by men, April not only held her ground but rose to lead the brigade. Her experience navigating high-pressure, high-volume environments—from the stadium rush to world-class service—means she thrives when others fold.

She translates that fierce precision into every dish, guaranteeing a flawless, unforgettable culinary experience, regardless of the scale.

When not overseeing her kitchen, Chef Apes likes to dress up with her Boxerdoodle (Biko) 🐾, stream her favorite shows (Parks & Rec, Stranger Things) 📺 or seeing her favorite band in the world, Linkin Park 🤘
